    Sad that the default of the current world is “can you drive?”

    Mate, I can barely hold a conversation with people Ive worked with for 3+ years. How am I going to communicate via flashing lights to strangers, while driving a 1000kg hunk of metal at 50kph?

    I think I can contribute to society. (I haven’t been fired yet. So I must be doing something right) but must I be cut out of social weekend events, or anything after 6pm, JUST because i cant drive?

      I get your pain but personally I think social events work better without driving anyway because then you can consume alcohol

        Cheers. Id drink to that. (Am slightly concerned that I’m going to town for after work drinks 3-4 times a week, but its better than the alternative)

          I went to a bar 3-4 times a week and it was the best period of my life. I then got other responsibilities and can no longer go.

          Just don’t get completely hammered every night

      Well there’s always Uber and public transportation but both of those can be inconvenient at times. Someday I will get better at driving to get my own car though
